Undefeated in eight games they have moved up to the No. 1 ranking in the country. Largely responsible for this is the emerg- ence of dynamic young Ara Par- seghian as coach, leader and spir- itmaster.

In eight ,games Huarte has thrown for more than 1200 yards, and Snow has already broken Notre Dame's 1 pass reception record. Last Saturday on national tele- vision, Coach Parseghian and his1 Irish maintained their top rank-j ing by trouncing Michigan State 34-7. Quarterback Huarte threw for one touchdown, ran for an- other and continually baffled State defenders.l On the second play from scrim- mage, sophomore back Nick Eddy set the crowd in a frenzy with a spectacular dash of 61 yards for the first score. The Irish were off and running and before the Spartans could recover, Notre Dame had exploded to a 20-0 halftime lead. The Irish defense, which leads" the country in rushing defense, was equally effective as it hell Spartan rushers on three differ-1 ent drives inside the 20-yard line.t Iowa, today's opponent, and Southern Cal remain the. onlyf two obstacles between Notre Dame1 and its first undefeated national{ championship team since 1949.
